    Start up in Emergency Wiz Mode, by typing the command:

    ./moo -e -l mymoo.log mymoo.db mymoo.db.new <port>.

    (Note that you'll have to run through all the stuff the restart script does
    before you do this, like cat mymoo.log >> mymoo.log.old, then rm mymoo.log,
    archive mymoo.db and rename mymoo.db.new to mymoo.db, etc.)

    Then, in emergency wiz mode, type ;#2.password = crypt("new-password").

    Then type 'continue', to get the moo to finish booting, or 'quit' to get it
    to dump to the new database and quit, or 'abort' to abort and not save any
    changes.  Then, if you continue, you'll want to hit control-z, and at the
    prompt type 'bg', to get the moo running as a background process.  Then
    you're set!
